Description of the invention (丨) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor element, and in particular to a metal plug Plug) manufacturing method. A common method for forming a metal plug is to deposit a conformal barrier layer on top of the insulating layer and in the interlayer window of the insulating layer, and then deposit a layer of metal. Then the metal on the barrier layer is removed ', leaving only the metal in the via window to form a metal plug. There are several methods for removing the metal on the insulating layer. For metal tungsten plugs, the first method is to etch back using an ion paddle. Because of the high reactivity of the fluoride ion plasma, the surface of the metal tungsten plug is recessed, and the height difference between the surface of the barrier layer and the barrier layer can be as high as 1000 angstroms. The second method is to perform chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) on the barrier layer after etch back to reduce the degree of depression on the surface of the metal ore plug. The material of the barrier layer used in general metal tungsten plugs is titanium nitride, and the material of the insulating layer is silicon oxide. The selectivity of CMP for these two materials is very poor. The result is that after the titanium nitride layer is worn away, it often cannot stop on the surface of the silicon oxide layer, causing the tungsten tungsten plug to protrude from the surface of the silicon oxide layer, and the height difference can be as high as 1500 angstroms. The metal plug formed by the above method is either concave on the surface or protrudes above the insulating layer, so that when the metal wire layer is subsequently formed, the surface thereof is also uneven. Therefore, when the lithography step is performed on the metal wire layer, a problem of defocus will occur, which affects the shape of the formed metal wire and lowers the product quality. Therefore, another method is proposed. From the beginning, tungsten CMP is used for the metal tungsten layer. When the barrier layer is used, the tungsten CMP (t0Uch up CMP) is performed to reduce the honing rate. This method can get a fairly flat 3 l · _____ , 丨 _ 丨 »Winter_ 丨 (Please read the precautions on the back and save this page to fill in)

Description of the invention (2) The surface height difference of the surface 'metal tungsten plug is about 200-300 angstroms Within, but the cost is very expensive, the cost of each wafer is as high as about 35 US dollars. The present invention provides a method for forming a metal plug, which can obtain a metal plug with a relatively flat surface at a relatively low cost. This method includes forming a conformal barrier layer on a substrate having an insulating layer, and the insulating layer has an opening. A metal layer is then formed over the barrier layer, filling the opening. Holding your hands: perform a first etch-back step on the metal layer until the barrier layer forms a gold S plug, and then perform a second etch-back step on the exposed barrier layer until the insulating layer. Finally, the metal plug and the insulating layer are subjected to a planarization step. According to the method of the present invention, the metal layer and the barrier layer above the surface of the insulating layer are removed by etching first, and then the entire surface of the metal plug and the insulating layer is planarized by chemical mechanical honing. Not only does it save a lot of costs, it only costs about $ 4 to $ 5 per wafer, but it also takes less time, which can significantly increase capacity.

Referring to FIG. 1A, the substrate 100 has an insulating layer 110 'and the insulating layer 110 has an opening 120. The material of the insulating layer may be, for example, silicon oxide. A method for forming the insulating layer includes low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, Si (OC2H5) 4) as a gas source. Referring to FIG. 1B, a conformal barrier layer 130 is formed in the opening 120 and above the insulating layer 110. The material of the barrier layer 130 may be, for example, titanium nitride, and a method for forming the barrier layer 130 includes a sputtering method. A metal layer 140 is further formed on the barrier layer 130. The material of the metal layer 140 can be, for example, metal tungsten, and the formation method includes a chemical vapor deposition method using WF6 as a main gas source.

In this etch-back step, if the material of the metal layer 140 is metal tungsten, SF6 / 02 / Ar plasma can be used for dry etching. Referring to FIG. 1D, the exposed barrier layer 13 is etched back to the insulating layer 110 to reduce the depression of the metal plug 150. In this etch-back step, if the material of the barrier layer 130 is titanium nitride, a C12 / BC13 electric paddle can be used for dry etching. 1 — This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) '· 519722 45 5 5tvvf.doc / 〇〇2 A7 B7 ___ 5. Description of the invention (^) Please refer to Figure 1E, insert metal The plug-150 and the insulating layer no are subjected to a planarization step. The planarization method, for example, can be performed by a chemical mechanical honing method at a slower honing rate to achieve the purpose of flattening the surface of the metal plug 15 and the surrounding insulating layer 110.

Then, a planarization method, such as a chemical mechanical honing method, is used to flatten the surface of the metal plug. Therefore, considering both cost and capacity considerations, it can provide a flat surface after the metal plug process, so that the subsequently deposited metal wire layer can have a flatter surface ’to facilitate the lithography process.
